Not related to your X problem, but:

I had this exact same console display problem with my NetBSD/alpha box on
an AS/200 with ZLXp-E2 card.  I posted here and a fellow reader replied
with a patch that makes my NetBSD display resolution match my SRM/TGA
settings.  Also, I obtained another patch posted here that fixed the bad
sync_on_green settings for the bt463 RAMDAC (used on ZLXp-E2).  Both of
these bugs are in 1.5.2.  If you are running 1.5.2 and want to fix these, I
have inlined both diffs below (they are tiny).
